Understanding and mastery of jazz and pop will be advanced through rehearsal and performance of group repertoire in a variety of styles. Traditional choral skills of blend, balance, unison, and harmonic intonation, and articulation in swing, pop, and latin genres will be studied through rehearsal and performance using microphones and sound reinforcement. Students will learn to sing with a rhythm section, a capella, as soloists, and in men's, women's, and mixed small groups. An end-of-semester performance has been scheduled, and additional performances will be added on and/or off campus, subject to member availability. Occasional master classes and workshops may be substituted for rehearsals. Independent practice and memorization is required, as are weekly sectional rehearsals.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
